Dong‘s work focuses on the nude female characters by transforming provocative images and photographs of herself to represent the complexities of humanity, expressive passions, movement, memory, desire and freedom. She uses her unique way to mix the past and present, accident and destiny, exploring the energy beyond the images. This is the freedom of demonstration, exploration of herself and documentation of sensitive interpretation. This is a boundary pushing way in an attempt to figure out the eternal in the occasional instant.
Dong’s work have been exhibited in different venues including Pallant House Gallery, Worthing Museum and Art Gallery, Bankside Gallery, Brighton Dome Corn Exchange, Red Leaf Gallery, Science Museum and other institutions. Her works are collected by art institutions and private collectors in various countries including the UK, the US, Germany, France, Italy and Japan.
